Seat belt will not retract like it should. this happens too often. not just in my car.
I own a 2005 toyota sienna van and have been bragging on it to everyone except for one big problem that has haunted me since 2016. the problem is that it has faulty seat belts that were installed in this van and they were recalled. it took forever to convince adams of lee's summit to replace them because they didn't do it every time. my husband [xxx] fought with [xxx] of lee's summit dealership on several occasions trying to get the original recall performed because the seatbelts would not do it every time. in the mean time i was forced to carry a small screwdriver a forced to sit in parking lots in danger as i fought to try and untangle the crossover of the seatbelt. than after many trips they finally replaced the seatbelts. within a year the post height adjustment broke on the drivers side and it broke in the up tallest position wear my 6' 2' husband needs it. i am a 5'5' women with disabilities and having to constantly fight with these seatbelts to go to my doctors appointments is horrible. so now it sits across my throat, very painful and unsafe. he has ...
Front driver and passenger seat belts constantly folding over and getting stuck in retracting mechanism. this happens whether van is stationary or driving. pull out seat belt to buckle, it gets folded and stuck on the way back in. then it won't go in or out.
Seat belts won't be able to retract. it is getting worse and worse.
I made an appointment and showed up 15 minutes early at 11:15am for my appointment at a the toyota service center on 4th avenue in san francisco. i have two recalls issues on my 2005 sienna (shift lock solenoid and corrosion of the spare tire carrier) and this super annoying and unsafe locking of my front seat belts both on the driver and passenger side. the seat belt issue should be covered under a warranty enhancement - zf2. it took them 5 hours to fix both recall but they refuse to fix my seat belt issue. at first, they said they couldn't replicate the issue. i drove off and what do you know, the seat beat got stuck again! i drove back to the service center and show my service person. he jerked the seat belt left and right to loosen it and then said this "just happens" and there is nothing they can do about it. he said the warranty enhancement was for the retractor mechanism and not for the folding seatbelt issue. i said, this is obviously a defect in the design of the seatbelt holder/attachment ...
Front passenger side seat belt jammed and won't retract. it happens so often even after de-assembled it and put back together
The door check was replaced by toyota for previous owner.the door welds are broke and pops and the door check has broken plastic.toyota replaced the spark plugs, but just the front. front were denso and back were ngk. local dealer says they do not mix plugs. local dealer says they will inspect the shifter and leave it when the recall says they will replace it. on the dash , it was also fixed by the dealer because it melted. i was told by local dealer i had until 2024 to get it fixed when actually it goes out in 2017. i am being misled on purpose so they do not have to fix their problems. no one is watching them and letting them do what ever they want no matter you spend over $40,000 plus for their trash they will not stand behind. if their is a factory defect it should be an automatic recall because they cannot be trusted to do the right thing. lets wake up and help the people being taken advantage of. it happened when toyota put a new door check in it.they have the records and it was on my carfax. i bought it like ...
